But what he never expected to see was what looked to be a bunch of people standing on pedestals, surrounded by plexiglass.
"Well helo there and welcome to Cyberdyne Corporation!" said a cheerful voice over to his side. He turned to see an attractive brunette standing next to him with a smile on her face. "My name is Kumiko. How may I help you?"
"Uhh... I was kinda... looking ta by a present and... accidentally came in here..," he told her hesitantly.
"Then you came to the right place! Our androids make wonderful gifts!"
